Dear Gentlemen
To establish the date of the marriage of Electa Goodrich of N.Y. to Isaac, I have made the simplest requisition in my power and the easiest of all others to be met, and as it will be more satisfactory than any that can be produced, I shall adhere to the requirement, which is to furnish the original Family Record , an alleged transcript of which has been filed. It will be needless, therefore, to accumulate affidavits upon this point.

On the tenth day of February 1855, personally appeared before me a justice of the peace in and for the said county of Madison Colleta Goodrich who being duly sworn deposes and says that she is the widow of Isaac Goodrich deceased & that said Isaac Goodrich was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, and that as his widow she is entitled to a pension She declares that her age is ninety three years, and that she is too feeble and infirm to attend a court of Record, which attendance would cause her a journey, as she understands and believes, of twenty five miles. She also declares that her husband the said Isaac Goodrich deceased did at various times during his life time make such efforts as a man of his ability and in his circumstances (he being poor & ignorant of the pension laws) was able to make to interest some man of ability to act for him as his attorney.

act for him as his attorney
in prosecuting his claim for a pension. And she also says that on or about the year 1840 the said Isaac Goodrich employed a man by the name of Andrews who said he resided in the county of Wyoming in this state to prosecute his Goodrich's claim for a pension. And she declares that the said Goodrich at that time put into the hands of the said Andrews, his (Goodrich's) old military discharge and all other papers in proof of of the military service & discharge of the said Isaac Goodrich. She says that the said Andrews was never heard from after either by herself or her husband the said Isaac Goodrich. Although he (Andrews) was several times written to for an explanation of his silence and request him to return the said discharge and other papers. This disappointment with the loss of his discharge she says disheartened the said Goodrich, for he then considered his prospects for a pension gone. She says that

for a pension gone — She says that
the loss of his (Goodrich's) discharge & paper with his ignorance of the pension laws, and his supposition that any prospect of obtaining pension was consequently hopeless, were and are the reasons that prosecution of his (Goodrich's) & of her (DepONENT's) claim for said pension has been delayed or postponed to this late day —
